Guys,

I just spoke to John the owner listed in the advertisement, for those of you that are faint of heart, suffer blood pressure problems, fainting spells, etc etc etc take the next moment to take a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breathe!

The LOST TRIBE has been found, he has "13" Zeds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


He is in Melbourne at the moment and wont be home until Tuesday night, and as I am home Wednesday due to the fact that Im having Insulation installed in the morning, I have arranged to drive up there after lunch time.

So watch this space, the digital camera will be clicking the landscape like mad and I will try to survey all of them and collect VIN / Production dates as I go.

Interestingly, he asked me, very inocently I may add, "Do you know how much they are worth?'

I said I would give an honest appraisal on them.

Group Buy maybe?

Cheers

John

Well, saves me making a trip over to have a look.... just a slight accidental detour on the way to G/F's parent in Sunbury, was seriously thinking about it....  Would be interested to know all details about any 2 seaters he has (240 or 260, don't mind either way).
Current:

'81 Alfetta GTV - 180rwhp 3.0 quadcam v6 w/GSX-R ITBs and Megasquirt.

HUMM it's back up for sale

What's this guy playing at?
The only reasons I can think of are-
1) that when people come to pick it up, it doesn't live up to expectations from the listing. So the buyer can walk away. But from the pics, it looks to be quite a nice car.
2) he is wanting more money for it.

Fixable IMHO.
I wonder if this was the guy MaygZ was talking to?
Oh so very tempting...

Yes, this is the bloke I was talking with.  Please don't all rush out and buy all his Zed parts.  I will need him for my own parts .... one day.
Zeds are more fun than women!!   You know I'm right, but you're too scared to admit it!!

Agree :)

I'm a bit far to check it out myself, but could be good. Looks like he has a potential Aladdin's cave over there. Looks like another 2 seater next to that 2+2 never know you could pick up a cheap 2 seater just by heading down for a look-see.

The one next to it is an auto 260Z.  It too is so tired it's almost in a coma.  He has 11 Zeds all up.  One is a monster turbo giant, that stripped the thread on the g'box input shaft!!  He wont sell that one tho  :'(

I have posted photos of a red 240Z of his previously.  He has LOTS of stuff, but it is ALL very tired.  He does seem to have realistic prices on them so far.  that is until we as a group over-inflate them to ensure we get them!

The R.I.P. Thread

Im not to far from there, would be happy to mount an expidition to check out what he has on behalf of the forum.

Cheers

John

Hey John,

How did you go in Lancefield?  Did you have more tears than smiles?  Did you find yourself not wanting to leave, just in case you missed something hidden under something, behind something else?

How did you go with your breath test in Lancefield??  People are watching you  :o

Guys, PLEASE just let John (sirpant) deal with this guy, otherwise if people start contacting him left, right & centre he'll 'twig' as to whats going on, & the lot could be 'lost'.
John will get back to all of us when he has had a good look at all of them.

Again PLEASE don't call this guy & harass him!

He is a really nice bloke.  He was VERY reluctant to sell any of his Zeds.  It took me quite a while to convince him to offer some items for sale.  He was a past member of NDSOC and would get swamped by blokes wanting everything for nothing.  I honestly believe that if he gets pumped for stuff, or attempts are made to score the bargain of a lifetime, then this aladdins cave will shut and will not open again.

He's not looking to retire on the back of the Zeds (or his other cars), so I ask that people offer reasonable value for things and keep the cave open.

My 2 cents.
